f. e- 



The statistics of this worii received very special attcutiou, were faithfully compiled and dilli"'cntly 
compared with their official and other authentic sources. Those of the "Manufacturing Industry" of the Citv 
of St. Louis arc, in percentage of increase, unparalleled in any previous period of ten years of its histor\% and 
place this city in the front rank with other manufacturing centres of the United States. 

And, in the growth of its Commerce and Banking, and extended systems of Transportation, the most 
eminent testimony is borne to the enormous producing power contained in those resources of wealth lyinc in the 
Great West and Great South — taking in the great Valley of the Mississippi River — which have enabled St. Louis 
to become their industrial, commercial and financial Metropolis.

The Revelation of the Census of the ''Manufacturing Industry" of the 

City of Saint Louis, in 1890. 



This Ccn-sus cannot be otherwise than a revelation to many of the intelligent citizens, who, not having a full 
conception of the great things happening in their midst, will be surprised by its revelations. The opinion will bo 
conceded, that this Census shows the "■Manufacturing Industry''' to bo the greatest in vilue and the most power- 
fid in influence of all the industries in the City of Saint Louis. 

In every line of manufacture, except in pig-iron and rails, there has been increase. It is well known, that 
the larger proportion of all llie gain developed by the late national census, occured during the last half of the 
decade, which fact attests the (dl around vigor displayed, and the magnitude of the resources that accomplished 
such large results in as few years. 



The Eminent Value of the Census oi' its Mechanical and Manufacturing 

Industries. 

Tho consolidated report of the Bureau of the National Census of the Meclianical and Mauut'ucturiug Industries 
of the Cit}-^ of St. Louis, for the ileeade just closed, and fully set forth in these pages, i» the moat valiuihle testimony 
to the surprisijig tjrowth of this city ever lef ore published! It shows — as in a looking-glass wiirroret^ out— not 
only those grand features of our Manufactures, hut the super!) lineaments of our systems of Commerce, Banking 
and Transporlati'^n. 



The Great "Manufacturing Industry." 

The Manufacturing Industry (m its entirety) of the City of St. Louis, is one of very great magnitude 
and importance. Its growth within the past decade haa. exceeded even the expectations of the most sanguine 
citizens. This industry forty years ago, in this city, was yet in its infancy, is now only in its youth, and just 
entering the period of vigorous manhood. 

Those citizens, who, while closelj^ attending to their personal affairs, do not observe all that is progressing 
around them, will be astonished when informed that the total sum of the manufactured products in the year ending 
May 31st, 1890, reached a sum double that of the preceding census year of ISSO. Of all the great business 
pursuits, no other is of equal importance in our city or whose value can be too highly magnified. 

No other industry carries with it as much influence, and to no other is the rapid growth and great prosperity 
of this city as much indebted. 

The manufacturing industries alone have created, within the past forty years, more than one-half of all the 
•wealth, and doubled the population of this city. They and the transportation systems will continue to be the 
greatest factors of the city's growth and prosperity. 

The "manufacturing industry" not only invites but claims the steady encouragement of the mMni<?tpaZ 
authorities, and of the great exchanges of the merchants and builders ; the real estate dealers and transportation 
companies, and of citizens generally, by reason of its grand instrumentality in tho growth and opulence of this 
prosperous city. And, it is due to them to say, that it receives their support. 

The agricultural and live stock, the vegetable and fruit, the mining and timber industries are all necessary 
to tho general welfare. But, while the food-producing industries arc indispensable, they could have no prosperity 
without buyers and consumers. The manufacturing people of this city arc the largest consumers of food products 
brought from the surrounding di.stricts. 

The manufacturer is also necessary to the prosperity of the miner, forester and freighter. He takes their 
crude materials, changes them into conditions of special utility and higher value, and returns them to be ao'ain 
handled by the freighter. 

THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES THAT HAVE GROWN THE MOST. 

Among those which should be called the standard industries of this city, tho following have had the largest 
growth within tho decade, ending ISOO, namely: Beer brewing; chewing and smoking tobacco; chemicals; 
white loads, paints and varnishes ; furniture, beds and mattresses ; bags and bagging ; railroad and street car 
building ; machinery ; carriages and wagons ; stoves and ranges ; steam engines and boilers ; iron building 
materials ; marble, granite and stone cutting ; granite wares ; plate glass ; stone, sewer and iron water pipes ; 
bricks ; fire-clay products ; clothing ; boots and shoes ; flour; leather, hmiber ; printing and publishing ; plimibint' ; 
wires and wire ropes ; oils ; meat packing ; etc. Many of these have had extraordinary gi-owth. 

THE ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY. 

Among the new industries in this city (unknown to the census of 1880), is tho Electrical Industry — the 
largest and most valuable of all the later accessions to the city. It has developed, in a very few years, into one 
of the greatest value and importance, while yet only in its infancy. 



The Wonders Found in the Eleventh Census ot Its Manufacturing 

Industries. 

The City of St. Louis, so recently a frontier town, but now a great city, has a resident population of a 
half million of men. It is a great Eive of Industry, Mart of Commerce and Centre of Finance. Besides, it 
is the fociis of gigantic systems of Bail and Water Transportation. But in the departments of skilled labor and 
in numerous lines oi mechanical construction and gene?xil manufacturing, this city is the most notable. 

Men in every age have borne their testimony to the eminent utility and wealth to be found in skillful Iinnd- 
craft and in general manufactures and construction. Old Egypt became great, not only by her agricultural wealth, 
but by the able works of her mechanics and artisans in special and general lines of utility, while her entluriuir uui- 
sonry remains the wonder of mankind. Tiie inventive ability in Great Britain, ajjplied in manufactures, placed 
that country, a hundred ^-ears ago, at the head of all the nations! England's only rival is the United States of 
America, whose giant-strength is foind to-day in the Great AVest and South. 

The greatness of the mechanical and manufacturing industries of the City of St. Louis, as developed by thfe 
National census of those industries— now just given in detail— shows the surprising growth in pro- 
duction from 114 millions, in the census year of 1880, to 228 millions for the year 
ending May 31, 1890. 

This result places St. Louis in the front rank of manufacturing cities. And, being now so eminent m 
growth and vigorous in strength, to what degree of greatness in the manufacturing and mechanical industries 
may not this city grow during the present decade ! 

COST OF BITUMINOUS COAL. 
The average price for bituminous lump coal during the twelve month, on manufacturers' orders, delivered 
upon track, aboard car, at St. Louis, is from $L10 to $1.15 per ton of 2,000 pounds. 



Coals. 

THE INEXHAUSTIBLE DEPOSITS OF BITUMINOUS COAL AT THE DOOR OF THE FACTORIES. 
Bituminous and Cannel Coals are both found throughout the larger portion of the State of Missouri, in 
limitless quantity and of fine quality; but, in the immediate vicinity of St. Louis — in the State of Illinois — the 
mires of bituminous coal furnish an inexhaustible supply. Upward of one hundred coal companies of that State 
offer their coal in this city. 

THE COAL OUTPUT OF ILLINOIS FOR THE YEAR ENDING JULY 1st, 1891. 

The number of (short)* tons, of all grades, mined 15,660,698 

The number of (short) tons of lump mined 12,960,224 

The number of (short) tons other grades 2, 700, iTi 

•NoTK— Tons of 2,000 lbs. 

The aggregate value of lump coal at the mines $13,068,854 00 

The aggregate value of other grades at the mines 1,168.220 00 

Total $14,237,074 00 

The average value of lump coal at the mine, dollar $1.0084 

The average value of other grades at the mine, dollar.- 0.4321 

Remarks. This report is for the same number of counties as that of the preceding year, 1890. Tha 
output of 1891 is greater, in lump coal, than in any previous year by 321,800 (short) tons. ' The output, severally, 
of nut, pea, and slack coal is noted in 1891 for the first time ; previously, only the standard market grade, or 
lump, was reported. 

The average value of coal in the State, at the m,inei, is substantially the same as in 1890, the decimal 
difference being a decline of one cent per ton. Less than one-fifth, or 18.7 per cent was mined by mechanical 
processes, in 1S91, which proportion is the same, on the average of the last four years.

Economy in Manufacturing at St. Louis. 

THE COMPARATIVE VALUE OF NATURAL GAS AND FUEL GAS-FOR POWER. 



ST. LOUIS MANUFACTURERS HAVE ADOPTED THE USE OF FUEL GAS, WHICH THEY 

PRODUCE ECONOMICALLY. 

The late improvements in its manufacture are so great as to give the assurance, that it is the coming fuel for 
"jPOJWT'." Indeed, enthusiastic manufacturers declare that the value of fuel gas over raxo coal is like a tallow-dip 
candle, of a half century ago, in comparison with electric lighting at the present daj-. 

EXPERIENCE OF ST. LOUIS MANUFACTURERS USING FUEL GAS. 

The experience of the St. Louis establishments in the use of fuel gas shows, that it has an enormous 
advantage over tlte raw coal. First, in economy, and, secondly, in ol)taining a better quality of product. As a 
result, large manufacturers of this city have built, and are building, gas plants at their works to manufacture this 
valuable fuel. As compared with natural gas, it is more reliable, and as cheap! The large iron and glass 
factories have realized an enormous saving in the cost of fuel. 

The fiunishing of natural gus is followed — after establishing a very costl}'^ plant required in its distribu- 
tion — by the enormous expense of sitiking new wells to replace exhausted ones ! And, even in the best fields its 
price is more expensive than the fuel gas made and used by St. Louis manufacturers. 

Less than three years ago, all the great iron and glass works of Wheeling, West Virginia, were usin" 
natural gas ; but one l)y one they gave it up, and returned to raw coal, and some to fuel gas of their own makin"'. 

A few manufacturers of St. Louis, had fears, several years ago, lesist they might not be al)le to compete in 
prices with similar works to their own elsewhere. But they shortly realized their ability to produce as cheaply as 

favtoi-iea which used natural gas; and, that they had nothing to fear from competition ; having — in fuel gas a 

permanent fuel, just at their doors — clieaper in the long run than natural gas — and giving them such advantages 
in the cost of fuel as to enable them to compete with manufacturers using natural gas. 

FAILURE IN THE SUPPLIES OF NATURAL GAS. 

The discovery of improved processes for the making of fuel gas from coal of varieties furnished for con- 
sumption at St. Louis — adds still more to the fuel supply of this city. And, it having been found, that the supply 
of natural gas is unreliable and becoming more expensive by reason of i\\.i failure of wdls, and the great expense 
of boring others therefor, the cost of fuel gas is no greater in the long run, and places this city on an equality of 
advantage in fuel with any natural gas manufacturing site! 

The recent public information of the failure in the supply of 7ia<M/'rt/ ^'M in the States of Pi-nn.sylvauia 
Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia, is very important to St. Louis manufacturers. It is to the efl'ect, that natural 
gas wells show that an early cessation of sup|)ly may be oxpcctctl, and that the very reduced pressure indicates an 
early and entire failure. 



The Population and Growth of the City of St. Louis. 

The populati ju of this city at the present time is fairly rated at full a half million of people, who are 
resident citizens. 

New manufacturing plants are being built and the older ones enlarged— a process constantly goilig on. A 
mild climate, exemption from endemic diseases, cheap living, cheap fuel, cheap homes, great advantages of primary, 
academic and collegiate education ; schools of science, art, technical instruction and a complete curriculum of 
education in all professions and pursuits ; the public libraries— are all inducements that constantly add to the popu- 
lation from abi-oad. 

ACCELERATION IN GROWTH. 

The f^rowth m population, wealth, commerce, etc., of our city has reached that point of fullness, when — as 
has been observed in the growth of other cities, remarkable for which were London, New York and Brooklyn— 
they acquired a population of half a million : the increase would be in a ratio heyond the previous exptrienee. And 
it is apparent, that such an era of quickened growth has reached this city. Its increase from this time forward 
will \iQ proportionately faster ; not only by reason of its accumulated bulk, but by greater cumulative power. To 
use a familiar illustration : a ball of snow in llic hands of a boy is a small aflfair. He rolls it in the falling snow 
and keeps rolling it until he can move it no longer. At this point he is joined by his comrades and the further 
they roll it the larger it becomes. And it will gai7i more bulk now in an hour than it could make at the first 
in a day or loeek.

The Great Diversity in the Productions Received at St. Louis. 

The productions received, have perhaps, more diversity and variety than those brought to any other original 
market in the United States, or perhaps the world. They consist in part of : All the cereals (grains), seeds, 
vegetables, fruits, wines, sugar, rice, tobacco, hemp, wools, cotton, furs and peltries, hides and skins, timber and 
lumber, butter and cheese, cured meat-i, live stock, horses and mules, granite, onyx, marbles and stones, lead, tin, 
zinc, copper, iron and coal, silver and gold. 

In exchange our merchants and manufacturers supplj- nearly every, commodity and description of manu- 
factured goods, machineiy and implements. 

The volume of the internal commerce of St. Louis, increases annually in an even greater proportion than 
the population and development of the whole country.

The incresise in the wages per annum was $124.00, averaged to each man, woman and child. The number 
of the employees was more than double, yet there were 6S5/ejwr children employed in 1890 than there were in 
1880— showing such improved pecuniary condition of the masses of the people as enabled them to keep their 
children out of the factories. 

St. Louis in 1880 was the sixth in order of the manufactiuing cities of the United States, and in 1890, may 
be Xhe fifth, possibly the fourth. Comparison between them cannot yet be made : in consequence of the statistics 
of the manufactures of the other cities not being yet published. 

THE FLOUR OUTPUT by the St. Louis millers needs this explanation : that although the capital 
employed in milling was double in 1890 what it was in 1880, yet the product of the city mills was a million dollars 
less. This decrease is accounted for, first, by the lower cost of wheat in 1890, and the reduced output of the mills 
within the city boundaries, while the product of the great milling plants in suburban places, owned and operated 
by the St. Louis millers, adds vastly to the total product. Through this change a large sum is saved anuuully in 
freight-charges on wheat and its products.

THE STREET RAILWAYS. 

The street railways of St. Louis are operated by cable and electricity chiefly — about 50 per cent, by the 
latter and one-fourth by the former power. Horse-power will soon be displaced by electricity. There are 230 
miles of street railways. They are equipped and man iged in the most superior manner, and for efficiency, safety 
and comloit are equealed by very few and excelled by no..e elsewhere. 



THE AUTUMNAL FESTIVITIES' ASSOCIATION, 

This association is representative in its membership of the business life of the city of St. Louis, made up of 
citizens conspicuous for ability, activity and experience. The association will possess a fund, raised through the 
free contributions of citizens, of the sum of one million dollars during this and the next year. The money is 
bein<^ expended in advertising the cit}'', and in popular entertainments during the usual '■Herm of forty days of 
the fall festivities.^'' 

The earliest work of the association was given to the public during the year 1891. The work of 1892 
will be of increased excellence, but that of 1893 will far exceed its predecessors. These years promise to bo the 
most notable for splendor in public spectacular exhibitions of any in the annals of this city. 

The reputation of St. Louis, having been widel}" spread abroad for the best and most popular presentations 
and ilhuniuations known to the people of the United States, and even surpassing those of Europe, the Association 
will make endeavors to eclipse its former record !)}• the coming works. 

Visitors from the old countries of the world may see the great West, which only one hundred years ago was a 
wilderness, inhabited only by wild beasts and wilder men, — now subdued, inhabited and con troled by an able and 
cultured people, whose training and acquirement;* place them ou a plane of equality with the foi-emost nations of the 
old world.

The Climate of St. Louis. 



The year 1890 completes 20 years of climatic observations — as recorded in the United States Signal Office. A 
brief reineio oi this reconl will give a fairly good idea of the climate of the city of St. Louis. It will, at the same 
time, refute to a considerable extent the rumor that the summers are excessively hot. Residents of St. Louis find 
that during nine months of the year [Sept. loth to June 15th], its climate is a comfortable one, and the record 
shows it to be about what the local surroundings admit in this latitude. The months of June, July, 
Au<^ust and September are the ones in which the greatest extremes of heat occur. Their daily average maximum 
temperature is as Allows: June 83.4, July 87 2, Augusts.).!), and September 77.9 degrees. The fact that the extremes 
occur usually in July and August, and the further fact, that the high temperature for June is due to the last half of 
that month being usually slightly less than July weather, and the figures for September being so low as to show 
that month to be as a rule very comfortsible. The average daily minimum temperature for July and August in 
St. Louis is 70.9 and 67.9, giving an average daily range in each month of 16 degrees aud 18 degrees, showing 
that one can dwell here during the summer in comparative comfort.

REMARKS ON THE PRECEDING TABLE. 

Industries are classified according to the component jvoduct of chief value, and some of the changes shown 
in the foregoing tahio arc probably due to differences in the classifications of 1880 and 1890. 

It is probable that the great increase shown in the reports for those industries denominated "Hand trades" 
is largely due to the fact that no previous census of the United States has so fully obtainctl their full production : 
such as those of the mason, carpenter, blacksmith, cooper, painter, plumi)er, and similar trades operating 
machinery to a limited extent. Previous census inquiries have entirely omitted the dressmakers' and milliners' 
industries, for which a product valued at $1,730,050 is now-reported for the city of Saint Louis. 

Considering the reports for the following-named building trades as a group, viz : carpentering ; marble and 
stone work ; masonry, bric^k and stone ; painting and paper hanging ; plastering and stucco work ; plumbing and 
gas fitting, and roofing \\w\ roofing materials, the value of the product is found to be $27,170,756.

In comparing the results with the returns of 1880 it will bo observed that the item of "Miscellaneous 
expenses" is given for 1890 only. No previous census inquiry has embraced the cost incurred in manufacturing 
operations other than wages paid and materials used. This fact should be borne in mind in comparing industrial 
statistics of 1S8() with those of 1800. Differences in method of inquiry and the mclusion in the Eleventh Census 
of certain industries entirely omitted in the Tenth Census account in part for the apparent increase shown above. 
The true increase is more nearly shown by the following comparative table, which does not include the following 
classes of industry omitted in the census of 1880, viz : china and pottery, decorating ; clothing, Avomen's, dress- 
making ; druggists' preparations, not including prescriptions ; gas, manufactured, heating and illuminating, and 
millinery, custom work :

THE CITY HALL, ST. LOUIS, 



Tlio Municipality of St. Louis. 

The "Scheme and Charter "—setting forth the organic rights and privileges of the city government, its 
legislative construction and powers, and limiting its power of taxation — were prepared by thirteen freeholders, who 
were elected by the people for i hat purpose under an act of the State Legislature. The city is governed by two 
legislat've bodies, chosen by the people, one known as the "Council," and the other as the "House of Delegates." 
The latter is called the Lower House— one member being chosen from each city ward. And the former body, the 
Upper House, and is composed of thirteen members, chosen from the city at largo by. a general ticket. 

The Executive Department of the City Government consists of the Mayor, OflScers and Board, who are 
elected for the term of four }'ears. 

The Australian ballot system was adoped by the municipality in 1890, and first used at elections that year. 

The bonded debt of the city has a Zfrni^— provided for it in the city's charter, and is not being increased, 
but annually diminished by means of the SinJcing Fund. 

The credit of St. Louis is equal to that of any other city in the United States. 



Showing the Population of the Seven Largest Cities— Census 1890. 

They are as follows : First, the city of New York, 1,515,031 ; Sec^md, Chicago, 1,099,850 ; Third, Philad- 
elphia. I,0i6,964 ; Fourth, Brooklyn, 806,3i3 ; li/th, Saint Louis, 451,770; Sixth, Boston, 448,477 ; and Seventh, 
Baltimore, 434,439. 

In the interval of two years, since the first of June 1890, when the census of population of the City of 
St. Louis was taken, there has been a very large increase. The population, as estimated in the taking of the 
New City Directory for 1892, exceeds considerably a half million people. 



The Financial Condition of the Municipality of St. Louis. 

The Eleventh Census shows thai the financial condition of the city of Saint Louis is sound ; that the 
indebtedness has decreased $1,222,017 and the wealth incnused $141,000,000. Here is an interesting table : 

The following table shows the value of real and personal property, debt, and taxation of Saint Louis for 
the census periods of 1880, and 1890 :

a As reported by the city comptroller. 

Prnm the foregoing table it will be observed that the a^jsesscd value of real estate in Saint Louis increased 
$76,05i,560 during the past decade, with an increase of $4,oS9,240 in the assessed value of personal property for 
the same period. 

The bonded debt has meantime decreased $633,000, the floating debt $844,867, and the sinking fund 
$256, 150, making a total of $1,222,617 decrease of indebtedness on these accounts for 1890. 

While the assessed value of real estate is $212,126,230, the city comptroller estimates the true value at 
$353,543,710 un augmentation in value of $141,417,480. 

The Public School System. 

The public scfaool system possesses a very strong foundation of permanent revenues. The sum available 
for school purposes, for the year ending June 30, 1891, was $1,317,000. 

The System owns 112 school buildings, (paid for), which, together with tJheir sites, are valued at full four 
millions of dollars, 

The attendance of pupils, the past year, at all the schools of the city — ^the puilie, private and parochial — 
numbered about one hundred and fifty thousand — under fifteen years of age. 

Building Permits. 

Most of all the purchases of lots, in recent jears, have been for early or immediate improvement, and 
building permits have kept pace with the transfers of ownership. The permits for buildings are given beginning 
with 1878, the year previous to the resiiniiition of specie payment, as follows : 

1878 $2,432,568 00 

1880 3,783,832 00 

1882 6,163,545 00 

1884 7,316,685 00 

1886 7,030,819 00 

1888 8,029,50100 

1890 10,242,000 00 

1891 13,903,800 00 

These figures do not represent the actual num. expended ; since few building are ever completed for the 
estimated cost, and it is reasonaljle to add one half more, if so the total for buildings in 1890, would be fifteen 
millions, and for 1801, twenty-one millions of dollars. 



MUNICIPAL AND PRIVATE BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS. 

We need make refereuce only to the improved styles, greatly enlarj(od dimensions, increased cost and num- 
ber ol new office, bank, mercantile/manufacturing and other business buildings and blocks; new church, college, 
and school edifices; the large number of magnificent private palaces, and th<? immense number of new residence 
houses in every variety of style and size, and of all degrees of cost, ada[itcd to the rich, the well-to-do and the 
humble citizen, for their own occupation, and for sale, lease or rent, which have lately been built. These impiove- 
ments are an indication of the great strides made within the last few years ; while the buildings, finished during 
the last year or two, are the costliest and most beautiful that have ever been built in this city. 

Throughout all the business section and beyond, the original MacAdam street pavements have disappeared, 
and been replaced by indestructible granite and in some of the residence sections the streets and avenue* are 
paved with asj}halt and Telford 7)iateri(d— smooth, noiseless and clean. The thorough system of sewerage and 
drainage, constructed and supervised by the municipality, is rendered hourly effective through the very favorable 
topography of the whole city which has helped make St. Louis one of the healthiest cities of the world, as is 
evidenced by the mortality rate given elsewhere in this work. The unlimited and exhaustless supply of whole- 
some water ; rigid municipal attention to scientific rules for sanitation and requiring their observance by all 
citizens, regular and constant street and alley cleaning, and daily sprinkling of the streets, are some of the means 
for securing the health and comfort of the inhabitants and which contribute so much to the delight and satisfaction 
of visitors.

The Future of the Mississippi Valley and the City of St. Louis. 



Wherever the conditions of soils and climate are the most favorable to the abundant production of food and 
for health and \ougeviiy-there will be found the greatest human population, and the mightiest accumulation of wealth 
and power. Ca7i such conditions he found as fully anywhere else upon this continent ? The answer is they cannot! 

The statistics show that, of the productions of the farms in the United States, threefourtht of the quantity 
and value are those produced in the valley of the Mississippi. Therefore, it is certain that from this Valley will 
go the most eminent and pursuasive political influences— to be acknowledged throughout the nation. It is eviden t 
that the era of such supreme power cannot be long delayed. 

The city of St. Louis, by its commanding position in the valley of such mighty resources, cannot fail to 
receive into its lap a steady increment of wealth. The increase comes, as if by magnetic attraction, from every 
quarter. 

Within the geographical limits of the valley of the Mississippi— including its branches— it is estimated that 
a population of three hundred niillions of human beings could subsist, and yet not exceed to the square mile the- 



The World's Columbian Fair, 

The city of St- Louis being possessed of the qualifications necessary for the "World's Fair," and desir- 
inc to have that great distinction, made earnest eflbrts to secure it. Such effort together with the efforts 
of the city of Chicago, s/iapcd (lie final result and determined the location to be, not at the sea-board, but 
the Gkkat West I 

Although our city lost the location and Chicago gained it, the gratilication which ensued thereupon was 
only secondary to what it would have been had St. Louis been chosen instead. From the day that the de- 
cision of Congi-ess was nuule, giving the Columbian Exposition to the "C'//i/ hij llit I.oh y the people of 
St. Louis cheerfully acquiesced and resolved to be grandly represented at Chicago. 

But St. Louis, having established a Permanent Exposition, at large cost eight years ago, and main 
tained it with distinguished popularity and far reaching advantages ever since, cannot afford to close it during the 
Columbian Fair, but will continue it in view of its local benefits and advantages. 

This city will do its full share of courtesy toward visitors to the Internutitmal Exposition— in showing 
them its part of central North America — when they come to see it, as they surely will. 




STATUE OF COLUMBU.S— m BltONZE— TuW-ER GROVE PARK, ST. LOUIS. 



BOULEVARDS. 

The Street Commissioner of St. Louis is now at work on the plans for the gradual construction of a s>/stem 
o/'5oM^et;'/rJ.vtliat will make this city a worthy rival of the older European cities in Ihe beauty of its driveway 
and great thoroughfares. The .system, aS outlined by the Boar.l of Public Improvements, will comprise boulevardt 
each of a length of from one mile to six miles. 

The Water Supply oi" the City of St. Louis, 

The supply of water is always above the maximum of the daily consumptio i, which averaged in 1891, 38 
millions of gallons. The new and enlarged water works, to be completed by January 1st, 1894, will furnish, if 
required foi'daily use, one hundred millions of gallons per day, or sufficient for a population of one million people. 



The New City of St. Louis. 

No fact is more completely recognized and none more cherished in regard to oui* city 1)y progressive 
citizens, than that the improvements made within the last few years have wrought such changes as to have created 
as it were, a new city out of old St Louis and given the city a grand prestige. 



The Rare Utility of Site of the City of Saint Louis. 

Superiority in the site of this cit}' has long since been established — in the opinion of the al)l('st critics in 
economics and health. The Topography is grandly undulating, has a base of limestone rock topped with clay — 
rising gradually, and it attains, at the western urban limits, a height of upward of 200 feet— above high water mark 
of the Mississippi. In the southern part of the city, the rocky bluft' crowds upon the river bank. St. Louis 
is one of the healthiest cities in the world ; the death rate for the official year, ending, ,:March 31, 1S91, was 18.55 
— to each thousand of the population. 

The great valley comprises the vast district between the AUeghenj^ Mountains on the east and the Rocky 
Mountains on the west ; and from Dakota southward to the Gulf of Mexico. All the region between these 
mountain is the Great Central West and joins the Great Southwest, and in the midst of this empii-e .stands the City 
Saint of Louis. 

The site of the City of St. Louis is at the Centre of the Continent. Visitors from abroad to the Inter- 
natioiial Exposition, in 1S93, will be enabled to witness for themselves the lealistic proofs of the marvelous trans- 
formations of which they have heard — that, within a period of a little more than a century since, all the rich and 
populous country from the western slopes of the Allegheny Mountains to the Mississippi River, and within only 
half that period, the colossal region.s — between that River and the Pacific Ocean, were an undeveloped and unculti- 
vated wilderness, the homes of wild beasts and more savage tribes of men ! That, within a period of time so 
brief, a district — more than one thousand by upward of three thousand miles in length and breadth — has been re- 
claimed, developed and occupied by cultured and refined people ; and interlaced with more than half the mileage 
of iron and steel railways in the "World ! That now, that central and younger part of the Great Republic, will 
bear comparison with most of the countries of Europe, whose earliest history dates with the dawn of Christianity ! 

In the centre of these wonderful feats of subjugation, of development in the forces of nature and of 
magnificent human achievements — in works of utility and grandeur — stands the city of St. Louis, whose vast, 
surroundings present to the view of the inquirer the most of all the evidences of modern ski.l and enterprise. 



Growth in General. 

The statistics of this work tell the story of ten years of municipal, industrial and commercial progiess 
of this great centre of population and wealth. There are in them man}- things for wliich St. Louis can rejoice and 
feel proud . 

In ten years there have been added 100,000 to the civic population, an increase of nearly 30 per cent 1 
The mileage of tributary railways has gone from 35,000 to 57,000 miles, an increase of Gl per cent, while the 
mileage centering in the city has increased over 10,000 miles, and is now more than 25,000 miles I There were 
handled in 1890, 15,000,000 tons of freight, an increase of about 6,400,000 tons over 1880 ! 

The watcrAvays are still a source of profitand of special advantages, and can be made much more so. 
Seventy millions of dollars have sought investment in nfew industries since 1880, and forty- four thousand more 
artisans have found employment, making a total of 93,610 persons employed in manufacturing occupations. 

The value of manufactured productions was doubled, a gain of Hi millions of dollars in the decade. 

The municipality is financially sound ; its revenues increasing and funded debt decreasing, notwithstanding 
the new and extensive public works. 

The foregoing data have been collected by sworn government agents, under the strict rules which apply to 
all other communities, and forlcomparison with all other cities, by a system the tendency of which must 
necessarily be to under-statement rather than over-statement. 



The Grand Exposition Building, — Olive Street, Saint Louis. 

ITS HOLD OF POPULARITY AND PERMANENCY. 

The St. Louis Permanent Exposition and Music Hall Association was opened to the public in the autumn 
of 1884. It met with unboundid success from the first day and drew great numbers of visitors both of the 
resident and more distant populations of the surrounding states. The number of visitors from abroad has grown 
each year, and interest in its exhibits and entertainments continues to increase. 

The Exposition is an established institution, and its permanency is assured. 

The ccntrality of St. Louis in a populous and prosperous region ; the numerous, cheap and easy lines of 
travel from all directions, — in and out, — the superior attractions found in the city at large, and those of the 
Exposition, — supplemented by unsurpassed operatic and popular music, — the whole under able managment, 
have all had a share in accounting for the prosperity of this institution. Its noble building covers six acres of 
ground — comprised in three magnificently appointed stories — and includes the Grand Music Hull, which seals 
4,500 persons. 

Upward of 85 thousand tickets were sold weekly during the six weeks of exhibits and musical entertain- 
ments, in 1891. 




The Splendid Attractions in Store. 



The management is preparing still greater attractions than ever l)efore, for the delight, entertaiiuiionl an<l 
profit of patron.s tha present ye:ir, 1892. But, in the coming year, 1893, when numerous foreign countries will 
be represented by many visitors in attendance upon the Columl)ian Fair — to be hold in connnemoration of the 
400lh annivcrsy of the discovery of America — the city of St. Louis will be found radiant in beauty and charming 
through an infinitude of attractions. Visitors may behold the most magnificent artistic street illumination in gas 
and electricity yet presented to the public view in any city of the world.

Scope of the Trade Territory. 

The commerce of this city jrrows in hir^er proportions each year than its great surrounding trade territory 
would seem to allow. Orders for its manufactured productions are constantly receive<l from foreign courtries : as 
Europe. Asia, Japan, Australia, Cuba, Mexico and the countri s of South America. These swell considerably the 
monthly volume of the general trade. 

Tliesc orders are for steam boilers, iron water pipes, stoves and ranges, granite wares, carriages, railway 
and street curs, baling presses, tobacco's, beers, wines, chemicals, shovels, mill-saws, furniture, plate-glass, 
photograplicrs' dry plates, powder, saddlery and harness, machine belting, lead , bricks, mill machinery, imple. 
ments, paints and oils, shot, iron building material, iron water pipes, chains, wires, baling cloth, fire clay pro- 
ducts, electric light machinery and supplies and many other articles. 

St. Louis trades directly with a large proportion of all the States of the Union, including New England, 
besides other Eastern and Atlantic states. But, commerce with the Great West, South and South West is that 
which is the Icgitmate right and preference of this city and its customers.

Advantages in the Wide Range of the Trade. 

The wide range in the domestic trade of this city is accompanied with special advantages through the 
infinite variety of the productions of its great fields. Their variety is a set-ofl' against a possible deficiency in the 
annual yield of a part of those fields, and the result is. that the volume of the trade has greater stabilitij than if- 
confined to fewer districts of country and a le.ss diversity of proiluctions. Besides, neither citrrcnt sales, nor the 
revenues from previous ones can be very appreciably reduced; and the volume of ?'<?(vjpwca^ trade cannot be 
seriously afiecled by advei'sc seasons and local financial disturbances in a part. But the unceasing developement 
of the resources of not only the newer, but older districts bring annually a large increase to the volume of recipro- 
cal commerce between St. Louis and its tiibutary territor}'. 



Railroads Centering in, and Tributary to St. Louis. 

Table A shows the mileage, tonnage, freight earnings, passengers carried, and passenger earnings of roads 
centering at, and tril)utary to St. Louis, giving mileage by States of railroads tributary to St. Louis for the years 
1880 and 1S90. Table B gives mileage by States of railroads trilnitary to St. Louis for the years IS 80 and 
1890. Special attention is asked to the increase of tonnage and earnings in table A, namely, freight in 
and out of Saint Louis, which shows an incrca.se of 6,388,000 tons between the years 1880 and 1890; also the 
increase of roads tributary to Saint Loui.s for those years is worthy of notice. 

These figures are made up from data on tile in the Transportation Division of the National Census ofEce, 
and may be considereil as accurate as can be obtained.

Preeminent Value of the Mississippi River 
As a Great Highway of Commerce. 

Of the world's great river cities, with two or three possible exceptions, there are none that outrank Saint 
Louis. In tlie matter of tributary railways and waterways no river city is its superior. For example, we may 
throw Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois out of consideration and still have more miles of railway tributary to Saint 
Louis than the total mileage of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, or Austria-Hungary. Add -half of 
Illinois, which is justly tributary to this city, and we have a railway mileage tributary to this one great river city 
equal to the combined railway mileage of the UnitedKingdora and .Austria Hungary. Again, take the mileage of 
railways centering in Saint Louis and we find it equal to the total mileage of the German Empire and exceeding 
by about 5,000 miles the total mileage of railways of England or of France. These are not boastful facts, but 
facts which point to a future far beyond that as yet attained by Europe's great river cities. 

Saint Louis can never forget the value of her commercial waterways. It was to these that the city first 
owed its importance as a trade center. Prior to 1855 the commerce of this city was almost entirely dependent 
upon the Mississippi River and its navigable tributaries tor means of transportation, that commerce extending as 
frr northwestward as Fort Benton, as far northward as St. Paul, as far eastward as Pittsburg, and as far south as 
New Orleans. Notwithstanding the immense competition of railroads, St. Louis still retains its river traffic with 
these points, and while much of it has been diverted to the railways, there have been extensions of river traffic in 
other directions, and St. Louis still claims the Illinois, the Cumberland, the Tennessee, the Arkansas, the White, 
the Red and the Washitan, with their affluents— streams which add their tribute tu its commerce: in a word St. 
Louis is the commercial centre of the entire fluvial systems of the Mississippi Valley.* 

The Magnificent New Union Railway Passenger Depot, 

St. Louis. 

The gi'eat size, splendor and utility of this new depot draws to it the general attention, and, when com- 
pleted, will be a daily illustration of the grand progress made by the modern city of Saint Loui.-^, iu the fulfilment 
of its destiny as Metropolis of the Great West and Great South. 

Including its train shed, covering thirty-two pairs of railway car tracks, — side by side, — it will exceed in 
size every other railway depot in America, or Europe, and orAy that depot, at the city of Frankfort on-the-Maine, 
approaches it in the dimensions of car-shed accommodations. The roof, consti-ucted of iron and glass, will 
measure /owr hundred thousand square feet ; the ventilation is complete throught the vast interior space. 

The dimensions of the main building fronting on Market street, between 18th and 20th streets are 455 feet 
9 inches, by a depth of 80 feet — in four stories, whose combined floor space equeals three superficial acres. The 
first or ground floor, will compri.sc (in a total space of 27,100 .square feet,) Concourse Hall; Ticket, Telegraph and 
Sleeping-car offices; Restaurant and Emigrant Rooms; besides Po.stage, Mail and Money Order Offices. The main 
floor is devoted to a general Hall, a gentlemen's waiting-room, ladies waiting-room, dining-hall, .smoking room, 
Ibarber shop, etc. Elevators and commodious stairways are adjuncts. The Railway-express companies, and the 
imail and baggage departments are accommodated in separate buildings. Also, a large milk depot, besides rooms 
ior the Young Men's Christian Association of the train service. 

The main building and every adjunct will be such as to make this depot a Union Passenger Slafion of the 
First Class, and complete in every part. The adjuncts include, gas and electric light fixtures, and elegant 
lavatories. Special care is directed upon the plumlnng and drainage, ventilation and heating. The building will 
be fire-proof. 

The full extent of this great passenger station will be better appreciated when the area of the ground is 
considered. It measures, 999,147, nearly one million square feet of surface, being four city blocks in length and 
two in width. 

The cost of this Station, exclusive of the rail tracks, but including the site, (which was secured at low rates 

in advance of the public knowledge of its intended purpose,) will be from two and a half to three millions of dollars, 

of which su;n the main building requires eight hundred thousand dollars. The opening of this grand building for 

use is looked for by September 1st, 1S93. 

*N'oTE.— Statistics A and 15 and remarks thereupon, are taken from the address of the Hon. Mr. Porter, Superintendent of the 
Eleventh Census, before the Commercial Club of St. Louis, November, 21, 1S91. 



New Lines of Transportation opened into Saint Louis. 

THE GREAT PENNSYLVANIA RAILWAY SYSTEM BUILDING A DEPOT IN CONNECTION WITH 

THE "VANDALIA" IN THIS CITY. 




The following additional railicays hat'e entered St. Louis \oitldn the last t/ear: the Chicago, Burlington 
d' Quincy entered North St. Louis hy the purchase of ground sit :i cost of tlnve-fourtlis of a million dollars, and 
are now building depots. The Toledo, St. Louis ^& Kansas City railroad ; the Jacksonville, Southeastern cfc Chicago; 
the Louisville, Evansville, <& St. Louis, the Louisville c6 Nashville, and the St. Louis, Tennessee, d; Alabama 
railway, which opens to us more completely a most valuable trade with Kentucky, via Paducah and with the states of 
Tennessee and Alabama. And, lastly, the great systemof the Atchison, Topeka ifi Santa Fe, recently "absorbed"' 
the '■'■Frisco'''' trunk line, and thereby obtained a direct and valuable connection with St. Louis. 

The Itivers also are increasing their tribute to the commerce of St. Louis. Recently, newly built steam- 
boats have arrived from North Alabama, via Muscle Shoals Canal — opened for the first time — and Tennessee 
River, in tow of barges, all laden with cotton and other productions of that fertile state. On returning thej- carry 
full cargoes of merchandise. 

Capital of the Banks and Trust Companies. 

On the 1st of January of the present year, 1892, the capital and surplus earnings of the 24 Banks and 3 
Trust Companies in the City of Saint Louis, amounted to the sum of $29,299,891.00, — nearly thirty millions.

i^mer'ica At the End of Foui* MM Yeai'^. 



** Wtstw^i'd llie. coume. of. -Empire;, takes its v:ay,.. 
T/ie Jir.st four Acts already past, 
A Fifth shall close the Drama with the day, 
Time's noblest offering is the last.'' 

The honored and gifted Irish prelate, author of the "prophecy" contained in the lines just quoted, Crossed the 
Atlantic in 1725-27, and visited the then small town at the point of Manhattan Island, which had been nam^id New Tork 
a few years previou sly. He voyaged also to some southern parts of North America. 

Berkeley, in his prediction of the '^Fifth Act," saw dominion moving Westward frdfti Europe, -w^hile t^e j)lot 
of the Great Act was being gradually unfolded to sense and reason, — and he fairly discerned the coming Empire/ 
The presentation of the Fifth Act of Time's Drama — 1(» the auditory of Nations — was opened when Christop/ier Col- 
umbus arrived with his ships and stepped upon the shores of the Western Continent, the 12th day of 0elober, i4it2. 

It is acknowledged, that no other Act in the World's Drama has drawn from the witnesses a^ great h share of 
admiration, wonder and applause! That, no other actors, beside Columbus and his successors, eve^ receiveij such pro- 
found attention and loud acclaim, and that no other auditors were ever inspired with loftier thou^ts, or inore heroic 
resolves. But. when it is considered that, this grand fifth act, of overmastering influence upon a(l the wotkl, is being 
performed upon the s/a'/e of a mighty Continent, whose matchless garniture of gold and gems came fronj the moulding 
hand of Omnipotence — none will wonder! 

Then the /■/•(■.s7/)(f.v.v and iiaretfy of this grand Fifth Act. draws admiring and enthusiastic witnesse». while its benef- 
icent gifts to mankind have made it the "noblest oflFerJng" since the advent of our race upon the Earth. But. what are 
the scenes of the Act yet to be enacted? More eloquent in beneficence and impressive in grandeur will be the closing 
scenes of the Fifth Act, only tos will not survive to witness the glory of "The Day !" 

The United States of America. 

The Great West and Great South. 

The states" are. of all the Nations, the most interested in the Fifth Act of the Grand Drama, 
both as actors and auditors. As actors they realize their dignity and importance ; but, as 
ai((litors. dare speak their admiration of the world's "Play." 

But, standing upon the centre of this wonderful stage, we behold the marvels of Nature's 
wealth — in productions of grains, fruits, timbers, textile ]ilanls. ininerals, marbles, stones, 
coals and clays; all the ordinary, more valuable and rarest of metals,— //•<>» , lead, zinc, copper, 
tin, silver and gold.' including the flocks and herds upon a thousand hills. 

Seven times in four centuries— the Old World has been enriched by argosies of the preci- 
ous nietaU from Ameiica. and yet her stores are filled with the jibounding treasure! 

The Great West and Great South could clothe half the people of the globe with their 
cotton and wools : could feed all Europe with breads and meats ; could satisfy them with 
lucious fruits and assuage their thirst with generous wines. 

But, yet the Fifth Act of the Drama is still in daily progress in the New World, is 
developing fresh interest and greater power, while its cast~ot matchless mould and energy — 
draws crowds of wituesfCH from all Nations. M- M- Y.
